PINCHme Free Samples!

A girlfriend sent me a link to this site called Pinchme

I am a sucker for beauty product as you know, and free sampling sounds like an awesome way to try the products I am considering buying without being disappointed with purchase.

You enter some details and postal address into the fields on the site, pick your product that you wish to try out and in a couple of days its at your door in a cute package! Easy!

I received my Pantene Shampoo and Conditioner sample and have already tried them out. The products smell amazing and the sizes are not tiny, they don’t come in saches (horrible!) and the bottles are an awesome travel size!

The full site launches on the 19th of March. A the moment its just P&G products that you can sample but apparently soon you’ll be able to sample any brand products on the website.

IMG_2873What a cool idea!

I’ll be looking out for more things to sample and will let you know! At the moment there is a limit of 1 early bird sample per person, but waiting for the full site launch mid month to find out more!

Genius product concepts and print ads which could be art

I was browsing through some beautiful/arty print campaigns and also some genius product concepts. Simple yet creatively stunning.

Have a look:

This is a water tap which looks like a jet plane

Pepsi Max print ad campaign – lonely calorie

Pepsi Mini Cans campaign – everything is miniature

Improve your English campaign from Russia – words which can sound similar in English – amazing artwork!

Bear and Beer

Rat and Hat

Sheep and Ship

Beautifully designed fruit bowl – splash proof?

Bloom Chips clever packaging. A chip tube which folds out into a serving bowl. Genius.

Secret storage box disguised as books :)

Clever Subway campaign on Children’s obesity awareness ‘ Feed them better ‘. Rubbish bins and trucks illustrated as boy and girls and carry the message of being careful to not feed your kids rubbish – literally!

A dog loves you print campaign by Amici Cani

“A dog loves you whoever you are. Adopt one on amicicani.com”

This one is just funny – its interesting how you can take a well-known brand and turn it into anything you want depending on perception and environment

The marketer in me can’t help but pay attention to these campaigns and designs. Every now and then I have to stop and appreciate the creative minds of people who are behind this work. It’s not easy to come up with something so simple and compelling when you only have 1 page to work with usually.

Hope you enjoyed these!

This is a photo I just took of an alleyway in Sydney’s Chinatown coming back from dinner. The light installations are setup across both sides of the street and look like angels in the sky with painted walls of clouds and swirls of the ocean. Very pretty!

Some of my food photos recently are my creations but the recipes all come from a new business in Australia which all of us in the office have fallen in love with and I can’t shut up about it to all my friend and family. I will post about it later in the week.

The above is a Beef and white bean stew from @HelloFreshAu and took only half an hour to create. Perfect in the cold winter weather!

Here is the website: HelloFresh if you’re interested :)
